    Ultimate goal weight: 125 lbs? (Not really sure how I will look/feel at this weight, haven't been this size since high school).

    4/21: 133.8 lbs (Challenge starting weight).
    4/27: 131.9 lbs
    5/4: 129.5 lbs
    5/11: 128.3 lbs (loss of 5.5 lbs during challenge, total loss of 55 lbs).

    3.3 lbs to go!

    If I surpass my goal during this challenge, I will drop my goal to 122 lbs. I still feel like I have weight to lose.

    Out of curiosity how many calories are you eating a day? I am a similar weight! I am currently 125 aiming for 118 eventually but only 122 for the challenge. But my weight loss has slowed to 0.5 pounds a week on 1300 calories no formal workout.

    I posted on Monday that I was having trouble because I kept gaining weight, and then I lost 4.5 pounds in 3 days. I'm not doing anything unhealthy either. I'm starting a FODMAP diet today to deal with stomach pain and gastro issues. I think my fluctuations could be due to some health reasons (I have been advised to try FODMAP by my PCP in the past).

    May 10: 161.8 - not a huge loss, but glad I was able to lose at all. I had a pretty full weekend of calories and it took some extra time to get that weight back down.
    May 17: 161.4 - not much loss again, but I've been sick this whole week. Slept most of the time so wasn't as active as normal. Hoping to start next week off healthy.

    1) I need to taper to maintenance and do not know where my "final" weight will settle.
    2) I met my Easter challenge goal of 165 lbs early, went on two weeks of maintenance, and gained a pound. Ugh. (In my defense I had to attend THREE seders AND a big Easter dinner. That was a very ham-and-wine-intensive weekend.)
    3) I will be traveling for three weeks in May so, realistically, may not be able to manage my weight as well as I have at home...but I will sure try.

    For these reasons, I want to participate but without a set number of pounds for the final weight. My goal will be to lose between 0 and 3/4s of a pound per week.
